The Everlasting Light.

"The setting of a great hope is like
the setting of the sun. The brightness
of our life is gone, shadows of the
evening fall around us and the world
seems but dim recollection of itself
a broader shadow. We look forward
into the coming lonely night; the soul
withdraws itself Then the stars arise
and the night is holy" How impress
i've, in contrast with this, is the Ian
guage of the prophet in describing that
land where disappointment never
comes: "Thy sun shall no more &C
down; neither shall thy moon with
draw itself; for the Lord shall be thine
everlasting light, and the days of thy
mourning shall be ended. "-LOnGello,C

Cultivate a Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard to
keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in
flesh and blood, yet do the work of a
soft heart, and do it with a soft touch
But there is no one thing it so much
needs as sweet voice to tell what it
means and feels, and it is hard to get it
and keep it in the right tone. One
must start in youth, and be on the
watch night and day, at work and while
at play, to get and keep a voice that
shall speak at all times the thoughts of
a kind heart But this is the time
when sharp voice is most apt to be
got. You often hear boys and girls say
words at play with quick, sharp tone,
as if it were the snap of a whip. If
any of them get veXed you will hear a
voice that sounds as if it were made up
of snarl, whine and bark. Such
voice often speaks worse than the
heart feels. Il shows more ill-will in
tone than in words. 1t is often in
mirth that one gets a voice or tone
that is sharp which sticks to him through
life, and stirs up ill-will and grief, and
falls like a drop of gall on the sweet
joys at home. Such as these get a
sharp home voice for use and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, Just as they would save
their best cakes and pies for guests and
all their sour food for their own board.
l would say to all girls and boys, " Use
your best voice at home" Watch it
by day as pearl of great price, for it
will be worth more to you in the days
to come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. A kind voice is lark's song to
heart and home. 1t is to the heart
what light is to the eye.-Erchange.

1---Charade.

Twas morn in May; how fresh the air
How passing lovely the second fair
As she tripped DER the lea
Right merrlly,
without thought or shadow Of care
Twas the whole saw that morn in May,
Going not, like Maud Muller, to rake the hay,
But to bring the first
To quench the thirst
of the hoers who bOed the corn that day.

Begin at Once.

Begin at once to do whatever your
Master commands. Begin to practice
religion. A child would never learn
to walk by hundred talks about the
law of gravitation; it must use its own
feet, even at the risk of many a tumble.
Wait not for more feeling or more
pungent convictions, or for anything
that you read of in other peoples ex-
periences. These are all snares and
hindrances if they keep you from
doing at once the very first act that will
please Christ. Have you never opened
your lips to an unconverted friend,
either to avow your own feeling or to
do that friend some good? Then try
it; you will strengthen yourself and
may bring an unexpected blessing to
him or her. In short, you must begin
to obey new Master; to serve new
Savior; to strike out a new line of
living, and rely on Gods almighty help
to do it. When you give yourself to
Christ in this whole-hearted and practi-
cal fashion he will give you a thousand
fold richer gift in return. Yes, he will
give you himself! When you possess
Christ you have everything.-Dr. T..
L. CuVler.

The Sacredness of Secular Things.

Another thought suggested by the
figure of Paul's minister, who was also
his fellow-slave, is the sacredness of
secular work done for Christ. When
Tychicus is caring for Paul's comfort,
and looking after common things for
him, he is serving Christ, and his work
is in the Lord" That is equivalent

You will not trouble auntie

The feast was rich and splendid
The board held fowerets rare,
But yet my rosebud tender

Her eyes were bright as diamonds,
Her speech a brides song;
She was frugal as hermit
Lest she might eat something wrong.
When asked to take some pudding.
She answered at her ease;
when questioned as to ice-cream, said
"a little, If you please"
Alas, that such behavior
Should end in utter wreck

THE LAND OF LITTLE PEOPLE.

Far away. and yet so near u.s. lies land where all
have been,
Played beside its sparkling waters, danced along its
meadows green,
Where the busy world we dwell in and its Noises
only seem
Like the echo of a tempest the shadow Of a
dream,
And it grows not old forever sweet and young 1t is
to day,
IT'S the land of little people, where the happy chill
dren pay.
Ard the things they know and see there so won
derful and grand,
Things that wiser folks and older cannot know or
understand
In the woods they the fairies, find the giants In
their caves.
See the pa aces of cloudland, and the murmur in
the waves;
Know what sll the brides sing Of hear the secrets
of the flowers.
For the land OF little people is another world than
Once twas ours; tits no longer, for, when nur
sery time is DER,
Through the land of little people we may wander
never more;
But we hear their merry voices and we see them at
their play,
And our own dark world grows brighter, and we
seem as young as they,
Roaming over shore and meadow, talking to the
birds and flowers,
For the land OF little people Is farer land than
ours.
